Our Summer

We have already had a very fun and eventful summer and we hope it will stay fun till the end. It started in June we spent a week in Park City with the Fullmer family, while we were up there we went swimming, shopping and went to Lagoon for a day. It was a blast Ethan loved lagoon a few of the rides scared him a bit. Some of the rides he would get off and say "that ride was too scary" but for the most part he enjoyed it very much.
July was fun as well we were able to go to Bear Lake twice to Shaun's dad's cabin, we spent a lot of time at the beach. Shaun went water skiing and took Ethan on the boat and also on rides on the tractor (used to pull the boat) and the 4 wheelers. The second time we went Shaun's cousin Jared and his wife Harmony came, it was a lot of fun to be up there with them. Ethan loves Jared and wanted Jared to do every thing with him. Jared and Ethan even built a sand turtle together, but if you ask Jared it was a castle.
The 4th of July was also very fun we had a picnic and watched fire works with Jessica's family. Ethan really enjoyed the fire works, Sophie slept through all of the excitement.
On July 14th our summer took a slight turn, Shaun went rock climbing with his friend Adam and took a slight fall and hit his foot on something which broke his foot. The worst part of the whole incident was having to hike down the 2 miles back to his truck. He made it down and Jessica took him to the hospital, his foot and ankle were pretty banged up but he is recovering well. Worst part for him is no more rock climbing this summer.
July 24th was fun Jessica's parents came over for a BBQ and to light fireworks Ethan loved all of the fireworks, except for the loud ones. Sophie enjoyed them as well she was wide eyed the whole time.
We also spend a lot of time at the local pool Ethan is quite the little swimmer, we enjoy watching him swim. As for the rest of the summer we are just hanging out and anxiously waiting for Caleb to come home from his mission on August 27.
